In one part of the trailer (7:20 in this vid) you can see a fully detailed doomguy face and the rest of the hud elements have been improved. So the rest of the trailer clearly is in an older build.
It does look a little different but still not good imo, I get they're trying to give a modern spin on the original 1993 middle of the HUD doomguy face but it just looks a little awkward to me.
Can't wait to see how the difficulty sliders will affect the game in real-time. HOPING that the all-in-one button for the shield functions properly. Also, fuck that demon plant, cilantro.
Hi, I'm new on your channel. This video is the most analytical of all videos out there, better than ones by journalists and surprisingly better than Doomtubers like Mayo, Midnight, Allstin or Beansprout tbh. You've made very entertaining text referring old games and timeline while saying what will work well and what is concerning and just one joke during moment that has a little to no info on (dragon/mech parts). You even talked about small things like no dmg icon to shields or HUD. It's amazing! I'm surprised your channel is very small and it's one and only video with analytics or previews from you, you're doing great on it, you SHOULD make more! Trust me it goes hard. You've made some other random vids but they don't reek of personality and it feels like you're truly appearing out of nowhere. But i really hope for more vids like this, and on that note, I'll follow your channel. The best of the best 4 u😊
8:02 If I had to guess, He means it the way Halo is kind of a sandbox. Like in CE on the ring, it's a bit of a sandbox while still being definitely linear.
Enjoyed your discussion around the risk of drowning in mechanics. I totally forgot how many get thrown at you in Eternal having turned tutorials off a long time ago. Great video mate!
Dude I knew there were a lot of pop up tutorials in Eternal, but until I did a run with tutorials and tips back on, I didn't realise HOW many. There's many more that I DIDN'T use as an example too, pretty crazy lol. Cheers man!
It wasn't til my 4th playthrough of Eternal that I could actually remember to use all the buttons in my arsenal. But it gives the game a lot of replayability that I kept getting better at it with every playthrough
"I'm a huge fan of modular difficulty" says the guy who's never gonna play on anything other than max difficulty settings :P but seriously I think this is a cool feature for normie players like me, I can play with high enemy aggression but then turn up the parry window because my reaction time sucks
Awesome video Maynarde. As always love to hear your thoughts on games. You can hear you are trying to find your flow with these types of videos already looking forward to the next one! Keep up the awesome work PS (i just bought the collectors edition)
I agree with all takes, and I'm 100% down for no multiplayer. Currently it seems if you're putting MP on your game, it's like either building around it OR putting double amount of efforts. Something that, IMO, Id did good on knowing their spot considering product and market. I just hope that we can customize how the inputs on the shield behave. A misinterpretation of what we need at the time might put a God Run to back to Hell on Earth. Ah, yes, good video Maynarde.
I really think the 4 shield inputs for the one button is more like 2. Parrying and deflecting probably are just blocking but different things happen depending on what you block. Block a green projectile and it deflects, block a green melee attack and it parries. The animations are literally the same, so I really dont think theres 4 inputs. It probably just depends on what hits your shield when you block. In other words contextual.
I wish I remembered to put it in this video but the minimum specs for this game require an RT capable video card which is a big difference from Eternal, hopefully it runs well still but make sure you take a look at the minimum specs if you haven't already!
I don't think people will end up talking about this game being some optimized gift from god the way they do 2016 and Eternal, not at all... This is my number 1 concern with the game.
@@pault.6653yes that was a shocker. I expected it to not be this high in specs required bc Eternal could have all of the effects on max if you keep low textures even on my 1060 PC! Sure it was a little overclocked or something but geez. This one makes the RTX mandatory because, somehow, path tracing is "important to identify exactly where you shot the demon for a correct damage on the demon exactly showing the dmg where the bullet is landing". Like Jesus, you didn't need that before and it still felt good and very realistic, it's literally just to force people to buy a new system
All the difficulty options concern me. When games do this it means the devs don't know how to balance their game well and just give up by giving all the control over to the players. When Diablo 3 introduced their 16 different difficulties the game became a completely unbalanced mess and I didn't enjoy playing it at all.
Like I said in this video, you can pick one of the difficulties at the top instead of tweaking the sliders so I'm almost positive it'll have the same amount of base difficulties as the past two DOOMs. Just pick one of those instead, that'll be the intended dev balance you're looking for.
Very concerned about the required specs on PC, not a fan of requiring ray tracing at all. Just hope this game does not join the trend of expecting players to upscale and use frame gen, instead of enjoying an impressively optimized game natively. The required ray tracing feels like a kind of sponsorship from Nvidia that would have turned heads just a couple years ago- in fact AMD did get in trouble for the inclusion of FSR in certain games.
I'm not a fan of it either, but seems to be the future. It requires tech from 2 generations ago (I guess 3 on the GPU cause the 50 series is out soon) for 1080p 60fps which I think is reasonable for a new Triple A title these days.
It’ll still run great. id has a pretty good track record on that. Doom:The Dark Ages is the only reason I’m retiring my GTX 1070. The 8 core cpu for all resolutions almost got me. I was about to build a Ryzen 7600x based system for my new rig and returned it for 7700x when I saw the specs.
Kind of disappointed with your analysis, you only said the obvious from the trailers. Let me elaborate on a few details: Shield - The left sidebar in the UI is the stagger meter for blocking attacks, it is shown once in the trailer that if you defend too much the meter goes down, so you can't defend infinitely and I deduce that the meter will be lower at higher difficulties since the enemy damage is also higher. In another trailer, it's also shown that there's some kind of glorykill with the shield that's very similar to the eternal one, perhaps a skill that's unlocked during the course of the game. Game speed: You've shown concern about the game being slow but you didn't show in your analysis that during the presentation, there were two occasions when the gameplay was at 140%+ and you could clearly see the difference, there's no need to increase the speed of the video to see this. In the menu where you change the difficulty you could see that the projectiles were at 75% with the meter literally at the beginning, it's probably 50% and the maximum might be 300% by the indicator. Still on the subject of difficulty, I think this is the biggest step that ID has taken with the game because it will allow for many different difficulty settings and game replay, since the focus is entirely on the campaign. I think it's worth emphasizing this even more through mods, remembering that Eternal launched its own mod platform recently as well. Yes, the sound for collecting pieces of armor is exactly the same as in eternal, in the trailer when Slayer uses the shield to kill a group of enemies with shields you can hear the sound. I don't really like the idea of collecting gold to unlock skills, but based on the idea of the game's lore, it might make sense since this is a long time before Doom, a long time... I think the lore is important to keep the essence of the game alive, even today there are discussions about eternal for example, unlike 2016 which is a cohesive story. Another thing I've seen a lot of people complaining about is Mick ost missing, the music sounds generic and now they need a whole team to try to replicate what was done in 2016 or eternal... Well, from what was shown, I liked it a lot and I hope that some of the hits become the hallmark of the Dark ages. Unfortunately, there are people who took the problem more personally than Mick himself and I'm sure there would be negative reviews for that. And finally, the game's specs are far beyond my expectations. I believe the game will run as well as all the previous ones. If they can't deliver a similar performance, the mods certainly will, so at this point I'm pretty ok... and you can test in Gamepass beforehand so no point to worry. That it,
Very concise and on point comment, but one thing you missed is that the game has MANDATORY in-built raytracting that you can not turn off. RT is beautiful and it clearly shows in the footages, but it is notorious for tanking performance without upscaling ( I am not counting framegen here ). They were almost certainly not kidding when they said you need a 3080 for 1440p 60fps. The only thing that really worries me with the game is the spec requirement, because I happen to be one of those FPS snobs who sees stutter when the game isn't running with at least a stable 120fps. I happen to have a laptop 4070 for now, which is roughly a 3060ti/2080super equivalent, so I need some serious magic to somehow squeeze even a measly 1080p low/mid 3 digit refresh rate on this title. I am quite worried for the folks with a 3050 or a 2070 to be honest. Let's hope the specs are at least a little exaggerated and ( true to doom tradition ) the game actually runs quite a bit better than what the requirements said. It's idtech 8 after all.
Nice video. I hope you enjoy the game, I personally won't buy it until they remove the Denuvo garbage. Also, and although it doesn't affect English speakers, there is no dubbing into Spanish from Spain, when Doom 2016 and Eternal have it. And the game costs €80, shameful. I feel like I'm being treated like a second-class player.
Wasn't aware at all about the Spanish language issue, should really take it up with id Soft via discord / email cause that just seems like an oversight. 80 Euro is pretty nuts, I agree, that's like nearly 140 AUD which is almost the cost of the deluxe edition here.
As a fan of doom why wouldn't I be interested in the next one? When have I ever said anything about disliking Eternal? A huge percentage of my videos are Eternal videos on this very channel, I'M confused!

That's probably true, part of me still kind of hopes it means some Metroidvania elements will be there for the exploration part of the game 🤞🏻
@@MaynardeyI imagine it will be semi open and metroidvania like with linear levels mixed in along with large silly OTT stuff. It looks great
So sick that you're now uploading that type of content!

I'm also a bit concerned by groups of enemies seemingly just standing still, waiting for the Slayer to show up. But all in all, it seems amazing.

Hey man, with modular difficulty you can go Ultra Nightmare... AND BEYOND! 😱
I had the PRIVILEGE of watching this on your stream earlier, 400 out of 10 video. Keep up the good work, sir.
In regards to the 2 day early access for Deluxe owners, it's not that they get to play 2 days early, it's that everyone else gets to play 2 days late.

Ok good, there is jumping in the game.
The pastor at our local church said if I play this game God will send me to hell to fight the demons in the game for real.
difficulty slider for monster could be be nice to have.
